You can buy Seven on ebay.

Sure, but don't complain if you use that computer to access any online account, especially financial and medical accounts, and you end up being hacked. Sorry, I loved Win 7 Pro a lot, but I won't risk our personal information.

Like CatOwner said: Much as I love Win7 Pro, and believe that Win7 was the best OS Microsoft has ever released, I won't use it on the internet any more.

It's worse than "There are no more security patches". The fact is, the Windows 10 patches now give the Bad Guys a pile of clear examples of things that need fixing on Win10 that will never get fixed on Win7. Win7 has a bulls-eye painted on its back now, and it will get progressively worse with time.

Using Win7 in a closed network environment (no internet connection) is the only way I'll run it from now on.

Use Norton 360 and MalwareBytes Premium, and you won’t get hacked.
